What’s New for 2026

The 2026 Sport Chief RT update is cosmetic. New Storm Blue and Heavy Metal paint, along with revised tank graphics, are the most visible changes. Technically, the motorcycle is identical to the version introduced for 2025. Storm Blue is a distinctive muted metallic blue positioned as an alternative to the classic Black Smoke finish—for riders who want the Sport Chief RT geometry in a less radical color. Heavy Metal is a dark metallic silver.
